Question
My 2-month-old baby cries when drinking milk and seems to be in low spirits. What could be the situation?
Answer
A 2-month-old baby crying while drinking milk could be due to a cold or certain infections. It is recommended to ensure both the mother and the baby are well-warmed, and temporarily administering some baby cold medicine and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, such as Huitong Granules and Cefpodoxime Proxetil Granules, for treatment. Additionally, if the baby chews its nails, it may be due to psychological tension or emotional instability, which could lead to habits over time. This behavior might be related to reducing self-tension but could also cause finger injuries or infections. Treatment can include behavioral therapy, such as aversion therapy and habit correction training, to help improve the situation.
